vyd zverkhou II reborn 24x28”, oil on linen as it looked moments ago, at the end of my painting day
3:59 PM: the original vyd zverkhou II was painted over. i didn’t like what happened and tried to scrub it out, but what remained was to messed up, so i decided this morning to start fresh, using photos of the original as a guide.
i think that was a smart move, because as i’m painting the new one i remember my moves from the original, and am inspired to improve on what i did. thus far, it’s looking more developed as a composition as well as coloristically. it’s interesting that i went much later than usual because i had the juice. it’s complex without being overloaded or busy. this experience makes me want to do something like this with a few other recent paintings.
i’ll pick up where i left off in the morning.
